On Thursday, July 11, at approximately 8:30 p.m., Combined Anti-Drug Task Force (C.A.T. Team) Cpl. Chris Johnson conducted a stop on a car for a traffic violation near mile marker 16 eastbound between Vinton and Sulphur on I-10.

The driver of the car, Aaron M. Williams, 21, 4001 Relius Ronsonet Road, Lydia, LA, advised Cpl. Johnson he was traveling back to New Iberia from Houston.

During the traffic stop, Williams began to act suspiciously. After receiving consent from Williams, Cpl.

Williams was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center and charged with possession of CDS I (synthetic marijuana) with intent to distribute.
